Check the list of supplied items Verify that you have received the following items with your power supply. If anything is missing, contact your nearest Sales Office. □ □ □ □ □ One power cord for your location One user’s manual Calibration Report CD-Rom Communication cable (optional) 2. Connect the power cord and turn on the power supply When you turn on the power supply, the front-panel display will light up briefly while the power supply performs its power-on self-test. All the VFD annunciators will light up at once. To review the display with all annunciators, you can check if there is any stroke loss on any annunciator. 3. Checkout Procedure If the EEPROM was damaged or the latest operation data in EEPROM is lost, the VFD will display as follows: ERR EEPROM If the calibration data in EEPROM is lost, the VFD will display as follows: ERROR CAL If the latest state of the power supply in EEPROM is lost, the VFD will display as follows: Error Config Data If you press the “shift” button, VFD displays the information of the product type, series number version of software. Sourc: XXV XA Meas: XXV Ver: 1.50 SN:5975002002 Press “Esc” to exit, VFD displays as follows: The first row is the actual output voltage value and current value, and the state of power supply; the second row is voltage value measured by voltage meter, and output voltage value set by power supply. 0.000V 0.00000A OFF 0.000V 3.000V The first row is the actual voltage value and current value, the state of the power supply. The second row is the voltage value tested by voltage meter and the setting voltage of the power supply. 6 Warning: The power supply is shipped from the factory with a power-line cord that has a plug appropriate for your location. Your power supply is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type power cord; the third conductor being the ground. The power supply is grounded only when the power-line cord is plugged into an appropriate receptacle. Do not operate your power supply without adequate cabinet ground connection. 1.4 Output Checkout The following procedures check to ensure that the power supply develops its rated outputs and properly responds to operation from the front panel. Voltage Output Checkout The following steps verify basic voltage functions without power supply. 1) Turn on the power supply. 2) Enable the outputs Press On/Off key to let the ON annunciator and the CV annunciator turn on to light. 3)Set the voltage value Set some different voltage values, then wait till the Meter mode to check if the VFD displayed voltage value is the same as the set voltage value, and to check if the VFD displayed current value is nearly zero. 4) Ensure that the voltage can be adjusted from zero to the full rated value. Current Output Checkout The following steps check basic current functions with a short across the power supply’s output. 1) ) Turn on the power supply. 2) )Disable the outout Press On/Off key to ensure that the output is disabled. The ON annunciator is turned off. 3) Connect a short across (+) and (-) output terminals with an insulated test lead. Use a wire size sufficient to handle the maximum current. 4) Enable the output. 5) Adjust the voltage value to 1.0 volt. Adjust the voltage to 1.0 volt to ensure the power supply is in CC operation mode. The CC annunciator will turn on. 6) Adjust the current value. Set some different voltage values, then wait till the Meter mode to check if the VFD displayed current value is the same as the set voltage value, and to check if the VFD displayed voltage value is nearly zero. 7) Ensure that the current can be adjusted from zero to the full rated value. 8) Turn off the power supply and remove the short wire from the output terminals. 7 1.5 If the power Supply Does Not Turn On Use the following steps to help solve problems you might encounter when turning on the instrument. If you need more help, refer to chapter 6 for instructions on returning the instrument to the supplier for service. 1. Verify that there is AC power to the power supply. First, verify that the power cord is firmly plugged into the power receptacle on the rear panel of the power supply. You should also make sure that the power source you plugged the power supply into is energized. Then, verify that the power supply is turned on. 2. Verify the power-line voltage setting. The line voltage is set to the proper value for your country (110VAC or 220VAC) when the power supply is shipped from the factory. Change the voltage setting if it’s not correct. 3. Verify that the correct power-line fuse is installed. If the fuse was damaged, please see the table below to replace the fuse for your power supply.

During the quick start, you were briefly introduced to operating from the front panel as you learned how to check basic voltage and current functions. This chapter describes in detail the use of the front-panel keys and shows how they are used to accomplish power supply operation. This chapter is divided into the following sections: Front-Panel Operation Overview, Setting Voltage Setting Current Storing Operation Menu Operation On/Off Operation Remote Sense Function m Ω Meter 5 12 Digital Voltage Meter 3.1Keyboard Disposal 1 2 Menu List 3 Esc V-set I-set Save Recall Shift On/Off Trigger 4 5 6 0 V/m Ω 0.1W 1W 10W 7 8 9 · Local Multiple Key Function Key Multiple Key Instruction V/mΩ: 5 12 Digital Voltage Meter / m Ω Meter 0.1W: The range of m Ω Meter is 0.1W 1W: The range of m Ω Meter is 1W 10W: The range of m Ω Meter is 10W 10 Enter Function Key Instruction V-set I-set Save Recall Menu On/Off Shift Set the voltage value Set the current value Save the currently data of the power supply to internal register Recall the data from the internal register Set the parameter of power supply Set the output state of power supply Use it with multiple key ▲:Up key ▼:Down key Enter: Press it to confirm 3.2 Front-panel Operation Overview The following section describes an overview of the front-panel keys before operating your power supply. 1. The power supply is shipped from the factory configured in the front-panel operation mode. At power-on, the power supply is automatically set to operate in the front-panel operation mode. When in this mode, the front panel keys can be used. 2. When the power supply is in remote operation mode, you cannot use the front-panel. A change between front-panel and remote operation modes will not result in any change in the output parameters. You can change the front-panel and remote operation modes by computer. 3. The output of the power supply can be enabled or disabled from the front panel by pressing Out on/off key. When the output is on, the ON annunciator will turn on. 4. The VFD display shows the present operating status of the power supply with annunciators. Turn on the power supply, VFD displays two lines data. The first line shows the actual output voltage value, current value and the state of the power supply. The second line shows the voltage value tested by the voltage meter and the output value of the power supply. 3.3 Setting Voltage The constant voltage range is from 0V to the maximum voltage value of each model.

Port Mode The level of the port on the rear panel is TTL, and the port has 3 kinds of function as follows: TRIGGER: pin1 and pin 2 can be used as the external trigger source for power supply, and can control the list operation. RI/DFI:Inhibit Input can control the output state of power supply, Fault Output can find fault of power supply. DIGITAL I/O:It can read and control output and input state. Pinmode 1 2 3 4 Trigger RI/DFI DIGITAL I/O Trigger in GND No Use No Use Inhibit Input GND Fault Output GND Digital Input GND Digital Output GND Trigger Operation (Shift+Trigger) The power supply has 3 kinds of trigger mode. You must choose trigger source before trigger operating. Trigger Key: If this function is enabled, press Shift + Trigger , the power supply will start trigger operation once. External trigger signal(TTL): There is a trigger input port on the rear panel. When this function is enabled, please give this trigger input port a pulse about 5 mS, and the power supply will start trigger operation once. Bus: When this function is enabled, and the power supply receives order*TRG or TRIgger, the power supply will start trigger operation once. Remote Inhibit RI input has 3 modes: LATCHING、L IVE、OFF LATCHING:When the level of RI port changes from high to low, the output of power supply is off. LIVE:The output state of power supply changes along with the level of RI port. If the level of RI is high, the output is on; and the level of RI is low, the output of power supply is off. OFF: The level state of RI do not affect the output state of power supply. Discrete Fault Indicator DFI source contains QUES、OPER 、ESB、RQS、OFF.
